When scouting Borden, coaches usually focus on stopping Branden Beam or bottling up Billy Kirchgessner. After Saturday’s 67-45 win over New Washington last Friday, there is a new Brave who is sure to make opposing coaches lose sleep. Jalen McCoy set a new school record by drilling eight threes in Borden’s ninth consecutive win.

The first semi-final at last Friday’s Floyd Central Shootout featuring the host Lady Highlanders and Louisville Presentation was a game of runs. Presentation started strong, but gave way to FC in the middle portion of the game before rallying late to take the 64-61 win. The Lady Toppers led 23-17 at the end of the first quarter, but FC went on a 19-2 run to take control of the game. Riley Kaiser sparked the run with a three to start the second quarter.

The Floyd Central Lady Highlanders looked like a well-oiled machine in their quarterfinal matchup last Thursday in the FC Shootout. Crawford County kept the score close for eight minutes, trailing 14-11, but Floyd cranked up the defensive pressure and put the dial on cruise control in an 86-35 win.
